Happy New Year!

We took Dylan to The Children's Museum for "Noon Years Eve". They dropped the ball at 10 am and then they got to stomp on bubble wrap. Pretty fun, but it was insanely cold.

This was the outfit Layne wore at his first Christmas so we had to dress the kid in it...sorry Dylan! I guess you can tell by his face how he feels about it.

Merry Christmas!

Dylan enjoying an ebelskiever on Christmas Day.

Pajamas with the cousins!

Dylan enjoyed wrapping and opening gifts. He was very interested in all of his toys and let out a "wow" everytime we opened a new gift. We had a great day with Nana and Papa, Nonna, Aunt Frank, Arwyn and Alianna. We missed Uncle T very much though!

Dylan & Cooper

Dylan admires the outdoors from the front door. I think he is waiting for "dada" to come home.


Dylan and Cooper have become very good friends lately. We must admit that Cooper is extremely patient with Dylan. One of Dylan's favorite play time activities is to get into Cooper's toys and throw them around. He giggles and goes crazy watching Cooper chase them around.

Daycare Party

Some of Linda's past and present daycare kids getting together for a Christmas Party!


The anger towards Santa continues, but this time you can see how I feel about it! :)

Ho, Ho, Ho!

Tis the season to be jolly...


I put Dylan in his Captain Awesome shirt hoping that it would deter the tears and make him brave...wishful thinking I guess.

The Big Freeze

A couple of weeks ago we had a span of 9 days with below zero temps and highs in the single digits. This is D in his 7 layers just to go to Target.

Jude & Dylan do get along!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving in Newbury Park with Uncle Ryan, Aunt Talia, and cousins Jaden and Jude. Dylan really liked watching Jaden run around but wasn't too sure about little Jude. By the end of the visit they learned to keep their distance. This is a pic of D when Jude was a little too close.

A miracle...all 3 of them together and no tears...yet!

And it begins...

Watching the Broncos

Dylan excited to watch Steelers vs. Broncos


Turn it off....I'm done!

Happy Halloween!

Dylan had a great time Trick-or-Treating around the neighborhood with his cousins! Thanks for coming up to Denver, Arwyn and Alianna!

Halloween Playgroup

Despite ALL of the snow (17" in the backyard) we had to get out of the house!
Dylan and Ava playing together.

Dylan boy and Dylan girl, they were giving each other loves and my camera wasn't quick enough.

Dylan, Asher and Sophia (after digging out the car we didn't have time to put D in costume...bad mom). But we will post his costume after Halloween.

Pumpkins

Carving pumpkins, we carved a butternut squash this year and it turned out well. The butternut squash was Cooper.

These are the products of our pumpkin patch visit. Below is Mom and Cooper.

Below is Dad and Dylan

Haircut

Sorry for the reverse progression, this is D after his first haircut!

This is how he felt by the end...

This is why he needed one...

This is how it started, he enjoyed for about a minute...

Other Birthday Pics

Dylan and his uncle's...and their little gift, living the High Life!

Dylan loves his prayer bear!

On his dumptruck, which mom gets to push him around in...a lot!

Dylan is 1...he partied like a rock star!

We all had a grand time during Dylan's celebration weekend. We appreciate all of the family that flew/drove in for the occasion. We are so blessed to have a healthy son that amazes us every day. Thank you to all of our friends and family for loving little Dylan so much! Below is the Marlboro man!

The proud parents!

The wonderful cake (the kids got to the owls wings before we could snap the picture).

It took about 60 seconds for D to taste the cake. Then he ate for a couple minutes and told us he was done.

Couldn't resist this picture of both of my kids licking their fingers!

Sporting his camo birthday shirt!

Already wanting to play with his toys...he has so many now that he doesn't even know where to start!


P.S. - Thanks to Uncle Brandon for these pictures!

Celebrating a successful 51st week... and looking forward to the 52nd!

It's been a while, but Dylan decided to stop by and say hello...

Pssssssst..... down here


Ahhh... that's better.


You talkin' to me? No really, are you talkin to me?.... (if so, I might just talk back)


Bath time, and showing off the glutes (and quads)... nice!




Love you all and can't wait to see you soon (oh, and check out the teeth)!!
